Opinion
PUGLIA, P. J.
This appeal presents the question whether a trial court, after a judgment of conviction is final, has jurisdiction to rule on defendant’s motion for discovery. We shall hold the trial court was without jurisdiction to entertain the motion.
In January 1980, defendant was sentenced to death following his conviction of first degree murder with special circumstances. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment. (People v. Ainsworth (1988) 45 Cal.3d 984 [248 Cal.Rptr. 568, 755 P.2d 1017].) A petition for rehearing was denied on August 25, 1988, and the remittitur issued the same day.
